List by Charles Talibard Pro
Films honoured with a Kermode Award in any category
These annual awards are decided on by just one person: esteemed BBC film critic Mark Kermode. The only rule is that you can't win a Kermode Award in a category for which you've been Oscar nominated.

Seeming overlooked at the Oscars in 2011, this was nominated in 2012 - after the Kermode was awarded. An exception to the 'no Oscar nomination' rule has been made in this case providing that, should they win, the Kermode statue is placed in front of the Oscar.

Mark Kermode is my favorite film critic. I always thought he got it right where the Oscars got it wrong and his Kermode Awards prove it. I may be along on this one, but I would rather receive a Kermode over an Oscar any day. It may not be as pretigious, but it's been more accurate in recent years than Oscars and that means a lot. Cool statue too.
